SELF-DEFENSE against the elements 

NO MANMADE destruction compares with the product of the angry elements.  Trees toss around like tenpins, roofs leave houses as if built to do so, almost everything takes off as if propelled by some mysterious inner force.  Not to be outdone rain drives across and into everything, and during it all lightning crackles like an angry concert master directing the symphony of destruction.  But elsewhere, safely sheltered against the would-be man-killer, are the men, women and children of the area - safe because the Chrysler Siren sent a warning roar in every direction.

The Chrysler Siren is built to give this kind of protection for years . . . base, housing and horn are constructed of cast iron and heavy gauge steel.  Even the bearings upon which the turntable rotates are sealed in where dirt can't score and damage.  And while it takes the miracle of utility power for remote-controlling one or a series of Chrysler Sirens, each can also be operated manually independent of any power save its own 1800 horsepower Chrysler V-8 Industrial Engine.

In test after test, city officials, civil defense authorities, those charged with our security have found that there is no warning device that compares with the Chrysler Siren for strength of signal, for adaptability and - because of its tremendous power - for economy.  Has the Chrysler Siren been demonstrated in your community?  If not, call or write,  Department 28, Chrysler Siren Layout Service, Trenton, Michigan.
